among them" Some of these natives, 1t
viii be remembered, were among the
iercest of Stanley's assailants on his first
trip down the river.
DR.. Lenz wrote last year that the in
huence Of Tippu Tib was far greater
through all the Upper Congo region than
that of the Independent Congo State.
All his white visitors speak of the rich
ness of his Arab attire and Of his affable
and courtly bearing The Arabs are
hardly excelled by the French in their
practice of the forms of politeness and
Tippu Tfb is thorough Arab in man
ners and ideas If not in blood He de-
spises the negro and thinks the Arab is
amoFg the greatest of men. Probably
the quaintest compliment Stanley ever
received was that of Tippu Tib when
he said he was sure the great
explorer would rescue Emin Pasha as in
energy and intelligence he was real
Arab. Lieutenant Van Gele says he was
surprised at the extent of Tippu Tib's in
formation on European matters. "The
questions he asked me" says Van Gele,
show that he is neither an ignorant
man nor one of ordinary mind"
Almost exactly midway between the
and the Indian oceans, and
about nine miles from the right bank of
The Lambertville record., 1887-07-13

then that he was to be the agent to carry
this policy into effect; but 1t was the
great explorer himself who, two months
ago, signed the contract with Tippu Tib
at Zanzibar, taking him into the service
of the Congo State and making him the
governor of the vast region embraced IN
the Stanley Falls district.
Stanley would never have ventured to
take the Congo route to Emin Pasha had
not this contract been signed. He
would not imperil his peaceful enterprise
by risking fight with 5000 well-armed
slave stealers But when these white
robed Zanzibaris see Stanley's tleet
putting up the river resentment will
disarmed, for in all the great caravaL
the object they will chiefly see will b.
the little man who led them to Stanley
Falls, and who can make or mar their
fortunes. The expedition is trusting for
its safety to-day in the good faith and
potency of Tippu Tib. Perhaps this is
the first time in history that the white
race has paid so great a compliment Ia
senli-civilized man.
The salary Tippu Tib is to draw from
the Congo State would not buy his grea;
influence. 1t is the glittering hope that
his profits as q trader will be greatly aug
mented If he uses the Congo waterway
instead of the costly Zanzibar land route
to the sea that has made him an ally of the
whites. He has it in his power to greatly
aid or to deeply embarrass King Leo
pold's enterprise. May the new State
count Tippu lib among its friends, at
least until 1t is strong enough to face hin
fearlessiy If he ever tries to retard ths
progress of civilization.
